We had a lot of diaper changes yesterday and Katie had tummy aches on and off through out the day, but she slept through the night! She was still walking around and playing all day yesterday, so we feel blessed again, at how well she is tolerating this treatment. Side effects can still kick in as the week moves on, but I am amazed at her resilience and strength!
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for ...then will I make weak things become strong unto them" (Ether 12:27). "None of us will become perfect in a day or a month or a year. We will not accomplish it in a lifetime, but we can begin now, starting with our more obvious weaknesses and gradually converting them to strengths. This quest may be a long one; in fact will be lifelong. It may be fraught with many mistakes, with falling down and getting back up again. but we must not sell ourselves short. We must make a little extra effort. Kneel before God in supplication. He will comfort, sustain, and bless us" (Gordon B. Hinckley, Stand a Little Taller, 348).
Today we are glad for prayers and ministering angels. Katie has done better than anyone expected during this phase of her treatment. What a great blessing this has been!
